And that's how Nasalite and I were awarded the Psy Corps' Medal of Honor—by @Junior Agent LuLu herself!

Upon returning to Junior Psy Corps HQ, Nasalite sneezed the kindly old man into a containment chamber. After the anesthetizing effects of Nasalite's mucus wore off, the kindly old man readily admitted to the whole scheme—how, after introducing Mipies to a new generation of bioengineered pet consumers, he tricked unwary students into allowing themselves to be experimented on as a way to pay back the voluminous debts they'd accumulated through his gambling con games. By creating human/Mipi hybrids, the kindly old man hoped to create a whole new kind of Mipi—one more suited to today's jaded youth, but that could also serve as board members for a shady corporate cabal to further his dreams of domination of the global market.

Meanwhile, @Sammy Watson, @Eva_Riffic's Onionator Erasmus P Hardington, and other students that had been transformed to Mipies are undergoing reverse gene therapy in an attempt to return them to their original human states. Doctors give the procedure a 50/50 chance.

As for the Mipies liberated from the kindly old man's hidden lab, they are all in need of good homes! That's why the Junior Psy Corps is sponsoring an Adopt-a-Mipi event all this weekend at the Spoonbender. Drop by and take home your new forever friend today!
